Abstract: A method of preparing a cable end of a high voltage cable for joining with a cable terminal or another corresponding cable end concerns high voltage cables with an insulation material (13) whose outer side is provided with a semi-conducting layer (14). Stripping of this layer on a portion (16) of the cable length is followed by a application of a second semi-conducting layer (21), which overlaps the first semi-conducting layer (14) , and which has a well-defined termination (20) in a direction toward the cable end. This well-defined termination is produced by applying a thickening (18) of an insulating material with a well-defined termination and then applying the second semi-conducting layer (21) so that this extends up to said termination. A sleeve for such a high voltage cable comprises a thickening (18) of an insulation material and a semi-conducting layer (21) which extends between the first semi-conducting layer (14) and a well-defined termination (20) determined by the thickening. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A process of preparing a concentrate which is useful as a thickener for aqueous compositions is provided. The process comprises obtaining a solution of an associative thickener compound in an organic solvent capable of forming a low boiling azeotrope with water. The solution is essentially free of water at this point and is at a temperature above the boiling point of said low boiling azeotrope. Water is added to said solution and an azeotrope of water and said organic solvent is distilled. The rate of addition of water is sufficient to replace said azeotrope with water, but is insufficient to cause a second phase to form in the resulting mixture of said solution and said water. The process yields a concentrate of an associative thickener in water, which concentrate is essentially free of volatile organic solvents.

Abstract: Methods and compositions for treating neoplastic conditions by viral-based therapy are provided. Mutant virus lacking viral proteins which bind and/or inactivate p53 or RB are administered to a patient having a neoplasm which comprises cells lacking p53 and/or RB function. The mutant virus is able to substantially produce a replication phenotype in neoplastic cells but is substantially unable to produce a replication phenotype in non-replicating, non-neoplastic cells having essentially normal p53 and/or RB function. The preferential generation of replication phenotype in neoplastic cells results in a preferential killing of the neoplastic cells, either directly or by expression of a cytotoxic gene in cells expressing a viral replication phenotype.
